You can check the status of your battery on the CTT Mobile app. Your Sidekick is fully charged at 4.2V. To charge your Sidekick, use the included USB charging cable. When plugged in, your Sidekick will automatically turn on if it’s not already. The Pairing Indicator will blink as it searches for available devices (you can pair with your phone while charging). The Battery Charge Indicator will remain on (solid green) when the Sidekick is plugged in. The Battery Charge Indicator will remain on as long as the device is plugged in; it does not turn off once the Sidekick is fully charged. It’s important to check the battery level through the CTT Mobile app.
<<Any idea how long it takes to charge?>>
Your Sidekick comes with two omnidirectional antennas, one for 434MHz and one for 2.4GHz. Depending on your application, you can use both antennas simultaneously, or you can opt to connect only one. Make sure to connect each antenna to it’s corresponding port: the longer antenna is for 2.4GHz devices while the shorter antenna is for 434MHz.
You may have purchased our optional Yagi antenna(s). These can used in place of the standard omni antenna by connecting them to their corresponding antenna port and sliding the Sidekick into the custom handle.

(need something here about storing them without antennas attached)
